Neil Walker was the lone bright spot for the Brewers on Wednesday with a solo home run off Reds' starter Luis Castillo in the first inning. Walker went on to finish 1-for-3 as the Brewers fell to the Reds' 7-1.

Fantasy Impact

The home run by Walker was his third since joining the Brewers and 13th of the season. Walker has been a fixture in the Brewers' lineup since his acquisition playing primarily at 1B and 2B. Walker and the Brewers have a big weekend series starting Friday in Chicago against the first-place Cubs.

Neil Walker went 0-for-3 at the plate on Tuesday with two walks and three strikeouts during the Brewers' 9-3 loss to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the poor performance on Tuesday, Walker has been solid since joining the Brewers batting .290 with five doubles, two home runs and seven RBIs in his first 20 games while playing all around the infield. He will continue to be part of the Brewers' lineup down the stretch and is a viable middle infield option in the fantasy playoffs.

Neil Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Walker's home run was all the Brewers needed in their 1-0 victory over the Nationals. Walker is just 4-for-25 over the last week, but his value lies in his power from the middle infield position. Walker now has 12 home runs on the year.
